Memorial OhserYances.

1t is we'll sometimes in the keeping of
certain marked days and in the per-
Torrance of certain ceremonies, to stop
and consider in what degree the pur-
pose for which the day is set apart, the
meaning of the ceremony is being full
| filled. If we examine the history of
customs and observances we find that
what has come down TO us with certain
suggestions, was originally instituted
for quite other purposes, and the thought
of the real significance, the origin of a
custom, comes to few in its observance
How many are there that in the keep
ing of Christmas bear in mind the fact
that this is sacred observance and not
u secular one. The word holiday has
lapsed from its meaning of holy day
into synonym for jollifcation day,
merry making day, and holidays are
kept in accordance with the meaning
they now suggest to us. In some parts
of the South, Christmas is kept with the
firing of guns, the ringing of bells and
the explosion of torpedoes and fire.
crackers, and everywhere it is the high
festival of jollity and mirth, of eating
and drinking and making merry, of
giving and taking. The spirit of the
day in its origin is lost. Fhe thought
came to us on Decoration day, in view
of certain things that we saw and
heard, that there was great danger that
the day of commemoration of tho dead
was already losing, for the younger
generations, its solemn meaning, and
might soon come to be only day of
general good time for the living. There
was demand on that day IN our stores
for fire-crackers, and the peanut and
pop stands did thriving business.
How much better if it could be day
apart from buying and selling-a day.
which in future ages would still keep
the solemn and sacred associations that
hallowed it in the beginning. if it could
be always indeed the memorial day of
dead soldiers, which each succeeding
generation was proud to claim as
their dead soldiers. Last year when
Memorial day fell on Sunday, it went
over to Monday or was celebrated Satur-
day but no day could be so appropriate

cations are laid aside and the thoughts
are freed from business cares and ready
to turn heartily toward other things.
If apart from tho haunting daily cares,
one could turn to pay his devotion ST
this shrine the day would then be kept
in its true spirit and be forever, what it
was originally, a day of grateful com
nemoration.

OF which only 493 were unknown. To the
memory OF these brave fellows, many of
whom were on the Confederate side, very

Of that well-known philanthropist and hui

efforts several thousands OF dollars were
collected for this purpose and for the an

remarked in this connection that there has
been no discrimination between the blue

Tlomn and County News.
TO Our Subscribers.

On the 9th day of May, 1886, the
HERALD issued its first semi-weekly
edition The objects Of its publication
we're then stated. No additional sub
scrption money was asked, and no
promises were made for the future.
This Monday edition has been vel
come visitor, coming at time when no
other local papers were published. 1t
has also been good thing for other
county papers, furnishing them many
items Of news they would not otherwise
have had.
But Notwithstanding the many adj
vantages it possesses, both for sub
scribers and the local press, there are
now good reasons for its discontinuance
and the HERALD will not be issued
scmi-weekly hereafter. The difficulty
is principally one Of help We can not
do justice to two papers a week without
a sufficient force in the composing room,
which it is now impossible to obtain.
We have no excuses or apologies to
make for this discontinuance, as the
.'scmi' has been gratuitous from the
start but if anyone has subscribed on
account Of this edition he is at liberty
to discontinue OF once, and if paid in
advance may have his money refunded.
The weekly HERALD will be printed
on "Wednesday afternoons and will con
tain as much matter as the two issues
have contained, the gain in time being
the necessity of having but one mailing
day.

THU BRASS BAND.
The Moral Influence and the Benefit
It Is to Town.

A well known American traveller re
marks that the brass band is an indica.
ton OF the enterprise, thrift and cultiya.
ton OF town. When the young man
starts to 'go West and settle, the choice
OF location is Of the utmost Importance
to him. IF he is to locate in the open
country he will enquire as to the charac.
ter of the soil but if he is to commence
business in town he will inform
himself as to the character of the people.
To do this let him ask as his first cues.
ton: s'Is there a brass band in the
town " If there is not sufficient ability.
pluck and public spirit to orgrnize good
band, let him look further before he in
vests his money, for the probabilities are
that the town is asleep. There are to.
day over 10000 brass bands in the Uni
ted States, and the number is increasing
with much greater proportioaate rapid
ty than the population. The increase is
of course largely in the south and the
west. The organizations in the east are
already very numerous, and throughout
New England there is hardly village
or a hamlet where you will not find the
band stands occupying prominent placa
on the public green. The advantages of
brass band to any town or village are
beyond calculation, but, briefly mentioned
few are as follows:
tirst-the influence OF good music is
always refining. The work which the
piano and organ does for the town. One
rednes the household the other reiines the
public. Refnment never yet hurt any
one.
Second-the membership of the band
is made up largely of young men. They
are elevating amusement and instruction
in place of idlencss and hurtful dissapa.
ton.
Third-the citizens are brought more
closely together and thereby take a great
er interest In oachother and in the com.
monwealth. Nothing is SO conducive to
such result as open air concerts
Fourth-a brass band will always in.
spire local pride, which is for the go,d
Of the town, and patriotism, which is for
the good of the whole country,
These benefits cannot be overrated.
